‘rformance of which is the test essential of their duties. ti's (• b..ive already recommended that in each ,catliedral v,liere such an arrangement is practicable, one at least of the stalls 51i07.11 be applied to the purpose of snaking a better proviiion important office. An instance of strch an arraltgeinent exists in the cathedral of Rochester. . _ _ Ai iL is desirable that dignities in cathedral anl churches sliou'Al Le theAo red upon those only ;:,hose tions have Leen proved by a (..rtain period of seiviea the ministry of the ollurch. Ile further IN...common:l that no persc.n ibe hmeafter caFaLle of reeeivio , r t a.;p,iatment of &an, „ archdeacor, or canon, until he shall have been s';x. QS Cfl- plete in yiest's crders. Omosattention has been drawn to the coraditiee of those mi nistera in the cathedral and collegiate churches who arc known , by the names of joiner canons, %kers choral, priest, vicars, or chaplains. The service is performed by them, or some of them, in all these churches twice, and in some three times a day, throughout th e year. The number in St. Paul's Cathedral is twelve ; in others there are sight, f ur, and in the collegiate church of Manchester two. 'lie emoluments are almosi. as various as the nurni.ers. At Dur ham some of the minor (omens receive as much as 1701. a year; in s - ene churches they have not more than 30!. ; but the majo rity receive f: am 50/. to 701. In consequence of the smalln e ss of their salaries in almost all - the cathedrels, we find a preva givieg to these ministers chapter livings, lent cust(m of they 1101(1 ,together with their places in the cathedral. We me of opinicu that the interests both of the cathedrals and of the p woeld be consulted hy retaining only se male; of these •mlnisters as are sufficient for the service of the cathe drals, and giving them such salaries as may preclude the ne cessity of their holding benefices together with their ()Zees in the cathedraL . . Jo most of the catliesTrais of the old foiindaticn, these sub minhters form a d•istinct corpiration, subsist upon the s:iparate lends thereto belonging, and exert the sale,: power of leasing their property as other ecclesiastical bodies. The cal sequent fluctuation and uncertainty of income, arising from fines receive:l upon renewal of y leases, in (Efferent years, which is found very inconvenient by the holders of larger pre ferment, must oceasionally become a source of distress to those whose average subsistence is very slender. We are of - opinion that it would be expedient to make some arrangement for placing* the property pf these minor Corporations upon a better footing. The alterations which we hare p roposed, with respect both to the arrangement of dioceses, and the constitution of deans eud chapters, appear to us to. render it expedient that a change should be made in the exercise of the patronage which is now vested in the last mentioned bodies. We recommend that such regulations ought to be adopted as may leave it in the power of deans and chapters, under certain restrictions, to give preferment to the members of their own body, and to the minor canons, who may reasonably look to them for reward after a certain period of service ; and that where the presenta tion. to any benefice in their gift is not required fur these pur poses, it should pass. in some cases to the Crown, and in others to the bishop of the. diocese in which either the cathe dral or the benefice may he respectively situate. This re commendation is not to be regarded as extending to Christ church, and must, of course, be considered as subject to mo dification, in particular cases. We likewise recommend that, in general, the livings, the pa tronage of which . belongs to the prebends which are to cease, and those of the deans and residentiaries, in right of their se parate estates, shall, after the present incumbencies, fall to the presentation of the respective Bishops. As the last remaining point connected with deans and chapters, we feel it right to take some notice of the expenditure of their corporate revenues, arising from rentals and other re gular sources. We have already noticed the great liberality of those bodies, in bestowing large sums on the reparation and embellishment of their churches, to the diminution of their own incomes. The ordinary expenditure appears to us in general economical and moderate, and such as is required for the due • performance of choral service, the care and maintenance of the fabric, and the decent propriety of a cathedral establish ment. There is, however, a considerable difference observable in the scale of this expenditure in different places : but, with respect to any reductions which can be effected under this head, the case of each cathedral will require to be considered by itself. We have still to mention the subject of sinecure rectories. The total number of these preferments is seventy-one, of which above thirty are in the patronage of the Crown or of ec clesiastical corporations. We recommend that these should be suppressed, and that the resources arising from them should be applied towards augmenting the existing provision for the cure of souls ; due regard being had, in the first instance, to the wants of those dioceses in which the sinecure rectories are situate. With respect to the probable extent of the fund applicable to the purpose of increasing the present provision for the paro chial clergy, which may be derived from the different sources pointed out in this report, although it is not possible to form an accurate estimate until the points which are reserved for fur ther consideration shall have been finally settled, we entertain a confident expectation that the amount will ultimately not be less than 13p,000/. per annum. It appears by the Liber Regis, compiled in the reign of King Henry VIII., that. in several parts of England there are hospitals of ancient foundation which were at that time deemed promotions spiritual, and as such were charged with first-fruits and tenths, although partaking also of an eleemosynary charac ter. We arc informed that these establishments are, from the increase in the value of their possessions, capable of affording, in some instances, after amply satisfying the objects of the founders' bounty, the means of making a better provision for the cure of souls, in the parishes with which they are con nected. Our attention, however, having but recently been called to them, we have no precise information either of their number, of the value of their possessions, or of the expenditure necessary for their proper maintenance ; and are not, there fore_, at present able to offer to ,yo u r M a jesty any suggestions with respect to these hospitals. In obedience to your Majesty's command, we have next directed our special attention to the residence of the clergy on their respective benefices; and we have taken this subject into consideration jointly with that of pluralities, which has a direct and important bearing upon it. A cursory inspection of the returns made to the Ecclesias tical Revenues Commission is sufficient to show the difficulty of abolishing pluralities altogether. It appears that of 10,478 benefices, from which returns have been received, 297 are under 50/. per annum, 1,629 are be tween 50/. and 1001. per annum, and 1,602 are between 1001. and 1501. So that there are 1,926 benefices under 100/. per annum, and 3,528 under 150/., not taking account of the re ductions even of these small values which have taken place since the returns were made. On many of these benefices there is no glebe house, nor' do they furnish the means of erecting any. It is difficult, in many cases, to provide - for the performance of the spiritual duties of very poor livings, except by intrusting them to the clergyman of some neighbouring parish. With the evils, however, which may be supposed to result from such a state of things, there is this advantage—that it furnishes employment for young men, upon their first entering into the ministry, in the character of stipe idiary curates ; a _regular • supply of whom is indis pensable b the efficiency and good order of the Established Churoh. Nevertheless, it has long been admitted that plu ralities, if not wholly abolished, should be restricted within as narrow limits as the actual state of the Church will per mit : and it is not unreasonable to expect that such restric tion may lead to the augmentation of many of the poorer benefices, partly from private resources, and partly from the funds, which the operation of measures proposed by us may ren der available to that purpose. Is determining the principles upon which the holding of benefices in plurality should in future be regulated, we have had respect partly to distance, and partly to value. With respect to distance, We are' of opinion that if an in cemieent be permitted to hold two benefices, distant from each other not more than ten miles, he nill be able, without inconvenience, 'to exercise an occasional superintendence and control over the benefice upon which he does not reside; the regular duties of which will be performed by his curate. With respect to value, we recommend that no benefice of greater annual value than 5001. should be held in plurality with any other benefice, except in cases where the small value or large population of some neighbouring benefice may.render it advisable that it should be held by the incumbent of a better endowed living. In such cases we recommend that upon a statement made by the bishop of the diocese to the arch bishop, and transmitted with the sanction of his approval to the Privy Council, it shall be lawful for your Majesty in Coun cil to allow such plurality. We to commend that not more than two preferments of any description be held by the same person, except in the case of a n•archdeacon, who may be permitted to bold one benefice with cure of souls, and one canonry. We are of opinion that the operation of a law embodying these provisions will, at no very distant period, have so far reduced the number of plura lities; as to leave no just ground of complaint on that score. Closely connected with this subject is that which relates to the union of small livings, and the dissolution of existing unions. Where two benefices are contiguous to each other, each being of small value and population, we think that it may in ma ny cases be expedient to unite them, so as to form one be nefice. This rrav now - be done, under certain restrictions, by the Bishop, with the consent of the patron; but there exists a degree of uncertainty, as to the circumstances under which it can be legally done, which it is desirable to remove by a more strict and precise limitation. On the ether hand, some instances arc to bee found of unions, the constituent members of which are ik circumstanced, with respect to value or popu lation, as to render it desirable that they should be separated from each other, and made independent benefices. We think that your Majesty in council, upon the recommendation of the Bishop, certified to your Majesty by such Commissioners as may be appointed for the purposes connected with the objects of this. Report, should have the power of declaring that such separation shall take place, either immediately with consent of the incumbent, or if such consent be not given, upon the first avn dance of the benefice. We are also of .opinion that power should be given to your Majesty, is certain cases, with the advice of your Majesty's Privy Council, and with the consent of the Bishop and, patrons, to alter the boundaries of parish contiguomt to each other. • • With respect to residence, we are of opinion that it is not necessary to depart from the - general principles of the statute 57 G. 111., 0. 99., which consolidated all the previous Acts relating to the residence, and the employment of stipendiary curates by non-resident incumbents. But we think it ex pedient to make further provision fcr the enforcing of re sidence, by dimigishing the number of exemptions, and the grounds of license of non-residqr, which th e A ct i n clues tit* allows; by limiting the perifflt of legal absence in cer tain cases; and by giving additional powers to the bishops, with respect' to the, appointment and payment of curates, and the reps rs• and treetresn of glebe houses. With reference to these subjects, pluralities, residence, and - . _ the employment of stipendiary curates, wo have prepared a 13i11 embodying the suggestions to which we have alluded; repeal ing the pro:ent statute law, and re-enacting its principll pro visions, with such alterations and additions as aepear necessary to carry those suggestions into effect. But we think it right to state explicitly - our opinion, that the residence of the parochial c!crgy, to the extent c: acs: the interests of reli gion require, can only be secured -by providing the means of augmenting poor beneficeS, and erecting glebe houses. There are not less than 2,878 benctices on which there is no house of residence, and 1,723, the houses unen arc unfit for residence. We deem it right respectfully to rope. , .t the observation made In our first report, that in all our proposals we • assume that vested interest:, will be respect:2d, as far as regards the reve nues and profits of persons actually holding any of the offices which will be effected by those proposals. Flaring, in the course of our proceedings, been informed of your Majesty's gracious intention not to fill up the stall ohich has become vacant in your Majesty's Royal Chapel at Windscr, until it should have undergone our consideration, a2id having also received, through Viscount Melbourne, your Majesty's express permission to deal with the chapter of that chapel, notwithstanding its contiguity to and connection with the Royal residence, in the same mode as with other chapters in the patronao - e of the Crown, we have without scruple of. fered to your kik:sty, in the foregoing report, such sur.nges tions as have been dictated by our sense of duty as well regard to those dignities which are in the direct patrona,;, , e of your Majesty, as with regard to those which are in the gift of archbishops, bishops, deans, and chapters. We have further to acknowledge the communication by Vis count Melbourne, of your Majesty's commands, that no ap pointment shall take place to the stall which has lately become vacant in the Chapter of Westminster. As the reasons as signed in cur former report for recommending the union of the stall then vacant in the same chapter with the parish of St. Margaret, apply with equal force to the annexation of similar preferment to the equally .populous parish of St. John, West minster, we humbly submit to your Majesty's consideration that the present vacancy affords a suitable opportunity of pro viding for the spiritual wants of the latter parish. We also think it due to those archbishops and bishops who have forborne to collate pending cur proceedings, to sinecure rectories, prebends, and offices within their patronage, to enu merate the preferments now remaining vacant on this account, with the names of their respective patrons : In the patronage of the Archbishop of Canterbury :—The si necure rectory of fishbury, in the diocese of Salisbury ; the sine cure rectory of Rilken or. Cilcain, in the diocese of St. Asaph. Archbishop of York : The prebend of Souih Newbold, in the cathedral of York. Bishop Of London : The prebend of Chamberlayn Wood, in the Cathedral of St. Paul's. Bishop of St. Asaph : The sinecure rectory of Llanbryn mair, in that diocese. Bishop of Bath and Wells : The precentorship of the chutth, and the prebend of Litton, in the cathedral of Wells. Bishop of Chichester : The prebend . of 'Waltham, in the cathedral of Chichester. Bishop of St. David's : The precentorship of the church of Brecon, and the prebend of Boughrode, in the same church. Bishop of Exeter : One of the non-residentiary prebends in the cathedral of Exeter. Bishop of Lincoln : The three prebends of Carlton cum Thurlby, Ernpingham, and Welton Rival], in the cathedral of Lincoln. We have further to cbservc, that the Rev. J. H. M. Lux.. moor, the present possessor of the sinecure rectory of Whitford, in the diocese of St. Asaph, has expressed his willingness to resign all vested interest in the same, if it can be appropriated towards the endowment of a Welch professorship in the northern part of the principality of Wales. And lastly, we have received from Mrs. Hartley, of Bath, the liberal offer of placing at our disposal, with reference to the object of this commission, her interest in a portion of the tithes of the parish of Wendron, in Cornwall. All which we humbly submit to your Majesty's consider ation. DUBLIN ELECTION PETITION. MAftex 9.—The Committee did not meet until nearly one o'clock, owing to the lateness of the debate last night. The question which occupied their attention the entire day was the 3d question of the 24, which was submitted by the petitioners for the instruction of the Commissioners. It was—" Whether the paving, cleansing, and lighting tax, due and payable on the sth of January, 1835, be a municipal cess-rate or tax, the non-payment of which, over and above one half-year's amount of the same, disqualifies from voting." Mr. HARRISSON addressed the Committee on the vote of James Ward, and contended that the assessment having been completed on the Bth of January, 1835, and the Committee by a former decision having declared that the tax was due and payable from the time of its assessment, he called on them to strike from the poll the name of the voter Ward, who had not paid that tax. Mr. AUSTIN submitted, that the Act of Parliament always permitted that six months' credit should be given, both in time and amount, before disfranchisement could take place. What was the fact in the present instance ? The rate was made on • the Bth of January, and the election took place on the 10th ; therefore, instead of six months' credit, there was only two days, and, in fact, the rate-books were not made out until long subsequent to the election ; therefore the rate could not be possibly due : and it was further admitted that the rate was made for the purposes of election. This being a question, as it was thought, which would de termine this investigation, the greatest anxiety prevailed. The Committee retired at half-past three o'clock, and after an absence of an hour and a quarter, they came to the following resolution:— " That it appears to this Committee that the paving-tax made on the 10th of January, 1835, although it was unpaid by James Ward, still, for the purposes of franchise, it is necessary that six months' credit should be allowed him in - order to in volve him in the disqualifying provision." The announcement of this resolution created the greatest sensation, as it disposes of the paving-tax of 1835, thereby giving the sittinc , Members, it is said, between 200 and 300 votes ; bad it been otherwise, it is supposed it would have ended the investigation. Five minutes before the return of ti.e Committee, any odds would ha,ve been given that the sit ting Members would be unseated.; now it is thought the tables are turned. On Tuesday the Committee came to the following most im portant resolution, which, owing to the pressure of the Parlia mentary debates, we did not give : " That no agreement between landlord and tenant that the landlord shall pay the paving -rate, for the payment of which the tenant is can absolve said tenant from such liability, while such rate remains due and payable over and above one half-year's amount of the same." The effect of this resolbtion will bc', that in the city of Dublin no tenant will pay his rent until his landlord pays his taxes, and it will be rather difficult for some landlords to pay the taxes without they are paid their rents. MARCII 10. The Committee were occupied the entire day in hearing counsel as to the right of a voter of the name of Ample to vote out of a shop and premises, the house being subdivide' into small tenements, and he not being the immediate tenant of the bead landlord. PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY. In the LORDS' last night, after the presentation of a peti tion against the Probate Clause of the Ecclesiastical Courts Consolidation Bill, and also one from a person confined for debt in London, praying for relief, Lord Melbourne brought up the Second Report from his Majesty's Commissioners ap pointed to consider the state of the Established Church in England and Wales, with reference to ecclesiastical duties and revenues. As the proposed reforms will be found fully de tailed in our Parliamentary report, it will be necessary here only to remark, that they go to a considerable length in se curing a more equal disposition of ecclesiastical remuneration, and that the measure seems calculated to remove many causes of just complaint against the notorious abuses which have crept into the Church Establishment of this tithe-ridden country. The Archbishop of Canterbury expressed himself satisfied with the Report, achno - wledging the necessity of reform, as a means whereby the holy purposes for which the Church was esta blished might be fulfilled. The Marquis of Londonderry, after the repetition of some characteristic animadversions, gave notice of a motion for Monday, on the subject of the Spanish correspondence lately laid before their Lor:lships. In the COMMONS' a g reat many petitions were presented-, E from • principa 11 . y licensed victuallers, prayin g for the repeal of the additional duty on spirit licenses. Colonel Perceval al luded to the non-production of some Returns relating to the appointment in Ireland of sheriff's, &c. Mr. G; F. Young then brought forward Isis promised motion relative to diffe rences in the viva voce and printed evidence of , Mr. Warbur ton, on The Timber Duties Committee. Mr. Warburton re plied, and after some conversation on the alleged irregularity, the motion was withdrawn. Lord J. Russell next moved that the second Report of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners be printtrd. The Noble Lord went into details similar to those stated by Lord Melbourne in the other House of Parliament. Mr. Goulburn thought the measure might be beneficial. Dr. Lushington spoke of it in terms of the highest praise—his ex pectations were (he said) more than realized. Sir R. Inglis objected to the lawfulness of the Commission. On a divi sion, Mr. Divett's motion for a repeal of the additional duty on Spirit Licenses was lost. The motion was seconded by Mr. Ewart, resisted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and oc casioned a long and smart debate. After some opposition from Colonel .Conolty and other Hon. Members, leave was given to Mr. Sharman Crawford, to bring in a Bill to amend the Law between Landlord and Tenant in Ireland. " ABDUCTION ON A NEW PRINCIPLE• 99 Elopements and abductions have been so frequent, that a " new principle" applied to them is, indeed, a novelty. The lbduction which is now the favourite theme in high life is per fectly new—for fathers and mothers, however noble and wealthy, are not in the habit of carrying off their own daugh tug from their husliands' dwellings in broad daylight. Thete arc many young wives who would not thank their parents for " abducting" them from a splendid hall. in Leicestershire, and from the arms of'a ga'y sporting husband, exactly the year before he was to be High Sheriff. Such an event has hap pened, as a history in the Court Journal of next Saturday will shew. PRIZE FIGHTING.-" Two blackguards (says a Southampton Paper), thumped each other tremendously on our Common, on Monday ; but not to half the extent each one deserved." If this were the kind of notice always taken of such exploits by the Press, the disgraceful practice would soon find its proper level. Indeed, " The Ring" is already in a low state.

But we really do not sec that they have now any reason for especial complaint. The tax levied upon them is paid by their customers ; and —.

THIS DAY, being the FOURTH DAY - of DRAWING of the SIXTY-SEVENTH HAMBURG GREAT LOTTERY, No. 1,126, say One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty-six, obtained the First drawn Prize of Baneomarks One Thousand, and the Premium of Bancomarks 100,000 net. ERATA.-In our review of the " Tin Trumpet" of yesterday for Boyle read Bayle. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 5 minutes past Three o' Clock. (?" 7- 12 ' q.„,...t.:-771?, • ( At." '4l I. " The number of licensed victuallers throughout England was 47,340. His measure had given them relief in 17,423 cases, being 36 per cent. on the whole number of parties who were licensed victuallers. He would now call their particular attention to the mode in which it had given relief to the licensed victuallers of the smaller class. The number of those licensed victuallers who formerly took out licenses at 31. 35., and who now took them out at 21: 2s. each, was 14,491. Now relief had been given by his measure to 9,804, being 671 per cent. of the whole number. Of the next class, 33 per cent., instead of 671 per cent., had obtained relief. Of the class next to that—he was speaking of that class which paid 61. 6s. 'for their licenses=9 per, cent. had received relief. Of the iext class, who paid 11/. 10s. for their licenses, 8 per cent. ad received relief ; of the next class, 8 per cent. ; of the next lass to that, 3 per cent. ; and of the last class, which, in point of fact, was the richest class of all, 21 per cent. had received relief. It appeared from this statement that by his measure he bad given relief to all the smaller dealers, and especially to those residing in the agricultural districts." The operation of this law is such as any enlightened person would desire. The poorer class of retailers are materially benefited by it ; whereas in most cases of a similar nature the advantages are generally conceded to the large capitalists. And what, in the present state of the country, would be the effect of a still fur ther reduction of the spirit duty? Why, to leave the trade perfectly open, so that every man might embark in it if he thought proper. Without taxation no dealer could claim a monopoly. With a further re duction of the duty, the Government would most certainly change, or altogether abolish, the present laws for the re striction of Licenses ; so that five times the number of shops would be opened that are now in existence. This is a fact which the Licensed Victuallers seem not to have taken into consideration. If they be highly taxed, they ought not to forget that the Go vernment guarantees to them a monopoly of a trade which it might leave open ; and it is for them to con sider whether thatilmonopoly, and a reduction of a va riety of other taxes, including those levied on News papers, are not of greater moment than a pound or two saved in the annual expense o 4 f licensing. We are very far from blaming any class in the community for seeking relief from the pecuniary burthens by which it feels itself oppressed ; nor do we consider that the Legislature would discharge its duty, if it did not at tend to all such appeals to its justice ; but, at the same time, care should be taken to prevent those finan cial embarrassments on the part of the Government which cripple the public service, and eventually fall with tenfold severity on the necks of the people. Much as WC abominate the ferocious spirit which pervades this document, it betrays not half the cold blooded cruelty of MINA'S decrees. MINA and CA BRERA are equally,sanguinary ; but the one is im pelled by ikvengc, the other by an innate thirst for blood. We arc aware tha:. blood-thirstiness is inherent in the Spanish character ; but we are persuaded that half the brutal murders which have disgraced Spain since the commencement of the civil war, have resulted from the examples of sanguinary cruelty set by M[NA and his subordinates. No cause can prosper with which such a monster is in connection. It is therefore the duty of the QUEEN'S Government instantly to remove him from all offices of trust and honour in the State. Unless this be done, Europe will hold the Spanish Ministry responsible for the barbarities committed by a ruffian who would disgrace the office of a common executioner. One inference will be universally drawn from these facts—namely, that England and France are bound to take measures for putting an end to a system of whole sale murder. Such acts are.. not the acts of warriors, but of bandits and assassins.

The majority of the names on this list are distin guished for ultra-liberal principles, and for having in their respective neighbourhoods violently opposed all attempts at risings in favour of DON CARLOS. MEN DIZABAL may safely calculate on carrying all before him in the next session. But 'still there is no con cealing the fact, that all his abilities will be required to extricate him from the many difficulties in which he is involved. The long continuance of the civil war has had the effect predicted by us from the commencement—namely, of brutalizing and de grading the great mass of the people. Our readers remember that from the first rising of the Carlists in the Basques, we argued in favour of active inter vention on the part of Great Britain and France, as absolutely necessary to preserve Spain from a state of savage barbarism, the result of the murders, sacrileges, and other depredations committed by factions of the same nation against each other. No such intervention took place, and the consequence is, that twenty years of peace will be insufficient to heal the wounds Spanish society has received in this war of disputed succession. The very system of warfare pursued in the Basques is of itself sufficient to .corrupt any people, so as to render them unfitted for the enjoyment of social liberty. We have received letters from several highly re spectable and very influential persons in Ireland, com plaining of the very high property qualification re. quired from Candidates for Municipal offices, under the Irish Corporation Reform Bill. Upon looking carefully through the Bill, we find that the property qualification for the office of Alderman and Common Councilman, in the first - class of Boroughs, is one thousand pounds, over and above what may be required to discharge the Candidate's debts. This class includes the cities of Dublin, Cork, Lime, rick, Waterford, Kilkenny, and the towns of Galway and Belfast. For places of such wealth, the qualification is not excessive ; but we think half the sum would answer every purpose which the Legis lature can have in view. We know that no compa rison can be made between the respectable classes of citizens in England and Ireland in point of wealth ; and that, in fact, an hundied pounds in Ireland is a greater guarantee for intelligence, honesty, and impartia lity, than five times that sum in England.'The qualifi cation for the office of Alderman and Common Council man in the second class of boroughs—including forty seven cities and towns, with populations varying from two thousand inhabitants to twenty thousand—is five hundred pounds, subject to the same conditions as the qualification for the first class. This is certainly ex cessive ; and unless amended in Committee, will leave some of the towns without the required number of civic functionaries. In all the lesser boroughs, where the population does not exceed ten thousand persons, the beau plan would be to make the qualification depend upon the amount of rent paid by the several candidates, or at least to allow such a qualification to be pleaded. It may be possible to find in some of the lesser boroughs a set of persons rich enough to fill the offices in the Corporations. But what will be the use of the Bill, if the poverty of the burgesses enable one set of men to retain of fice for life ? The people cannot choose where all but the requisite number of candidates are legally dis qualified to take office. We recommend the subject to the reconsideration of Lard MORPETII. The French Papers of Wednesday have been re ceived, but they contain no intelligence of general in terest. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday, the Government obtained a supplementary credit of 7,500,000 francs, incurred by the recent in crease of the navy, anticipatory of a war with Ame rica. M. TIIIERS, however, assured the Chambers that he would shortly have the pleasure of announcing the perfect reconciliation of France and the United States, through the friendly mediation of his Majesty the KING Of GREAT BRITAIN. The Journal cies Debitts announces in unmeasured terms, the occupation of Cracow by the Austrian troops. It appears from the accounts received this morning, that two hundred have been added to the four hundred Poles in the hands of KAUFFMANN, the Austrian General, on the 22d ult. Most of these brave fellows have wives and small families, from whom the tyrants propose for ever to separate them. In the mean time England and France resent the insults thus heaped upon them, by sending each a Consul to Cra cow to report the proceedings:— PARIs, MARCH 9.—lt appears that some alarm has been caused at Marseilles and Toulon, by the measures adopted for bringing back to France part of the troops now in our posses sions in Africa. The corps now occupying the country will be reduced to 14,000 men, whereas the budget has provided for 21,000 men. These measures are considered a; preludes to an evacuation, respecting, which the Ministry must give some explanation. The derangement of the seasons and the storms which have been observed in part of Europe afflict Italy likewise. A hurricane, such as we had not experienced for a long time, has ravaged the environs of Rome. On the 17th the 'north wind tore up trees by the roots, and on the following day the south wind blew with equal fury. An immense quantity of snow covered the eminences round the city, and some fell even in the city itself, which is a remarkable circumstance at' this season of the year. We find the following passage in a private letter from Ma drid, quoted this morning by the Courrier Francais : " Many reports are spread of the approaChing fall of M. Mendizabal. It is affirmed that he has lost his credit with the Queen ; that she has a personal dislike to him ; and that she lately refused to sign a decree, permitting the importation of foreign manufactured cotton, &c. It is also said that M. Men dizabal has lost the support of M. de Reyneval, who has always been opposed to him, more or less openly ; and what would be of still more importance, that the English Ambassador be gins to be less cordial with him. New Ministerial combina tions are spoken of, in which the names of Calvo and Rosas Arguelles appear. Though the Ministry affects to say that the elections are favourable to it, yet it cannot dissemble that they are still more decisive in the spirit of the movement party, and that it will be very difficult to go on to the 26th of March, on which day the Cortes will meet."—Messayer, March 9.

In a short while this feeling of disappointment will wear off, although, in the meantime, it must prove de trimental to a minister who is only powerful through the influence of public opinion. The inhu man mur der of the mother of the Carlist chief CABRERA, by command of the detestable monster. MINA, has led to the most brutal reprisals on the part of the Carlists.

It also remarks (though th natural inference from the remark is disclaimed), that '" not a day of the present Session of Parliament has elapsed, by far the greater part of which has not be en . occupied by the consideration of questions exclusively relating to Ireland." Nov, one would supP°s e i that if so great a portion of the attention 0' Parliament has been devoted to Irish affairs, th e , evil, if it be one, would hardly have been less , bau. another Irish question of the most complicated and dif ficult nature, and, therefore, requiring the most matu re deliberation, been added to those already submitted t°' the consideration of the House of Commons. Th is ' deduction is so simple and obvious, that we really so n ' der how it should have escaped even the Morning Herald. But Grandmama's logical faculties „wer e never of the brightest order, and age does not impr°, them. • Why is so much of the public time occupied " matters relating to Ireland ? The reason is this", Ireland is not merely an integral part, but the thirw, part, of the United Kingdom; what relates to. Irelandr therefore, relates equally to England and Scotland'' This is a principle which no one dare deny who is i ic - prepared to admit that the Union is nothing b' parchment. The Tories themselves allow it in , words, though their practice refutes it. The Ine s "' bigotted of them acknowledge, or pretend, to ack°°: ledge, that Ireland is entitled to equal justice, though they will not admit that equal justice implies, in t his case, that which it doe's in all others. The three partie s here are all equal, yet they are all unequal. The union is, in short, So mystical that it sets all common sense at de 6 ' .. ante, and enables a thorough-going Tory to refuse to Ire"" land, without incurring the charge of injustice the rights and privileges which he concedes to Engla .sa and Scotland. We may also inform our Contemporary, that - ti le misgovernment of seven centuries is not to be rerun& d, • • in a day. If the affairs of Ireland engross a lrg e : portion of the attention of the - Legislature than th ose of England or Scotland, it is owing to the difficu lt y of remedying the innumerable evils which the ty ra n; nical and plunder-loving faction to whose inte.fe st the Morning Herald has attached itself, have i n. flicted upon that unhappy country.

Lord MELBOURNE in the Upper House, and Lord JOIIN RUSSELL in the Lower, brought forward last night the second Report of the Commissioners to en quire into the state of the Established Church in England and Wales. The recommendations contained in the Report were favourably received in both Houses ; and deservedly so ; for if they do not go to the root of ecclesiastical abuses, at least they provide a remedy for many of the most glaring and obnoxious ones. Among other satisfactory innovations, it is proposed to reduce the number of pluralities : to augment the revenues of the poorer Bishoprics by endowing them with a portion of the income of the richer Sees : to abolish prebends where residence is not attached : and to pre serve one 'Dean and four Canons for the purposes of Cathedral service. As respects the altera tions in the dioceses, Lord MELBOURNE said : " The estimated annual revenue of Canterbury amounted to 17,0001. per annum ; it was proposed to reduce it to 15,000/, per annum. The Bishopric of London was estimated at 12,200/. per annum ; it was proposed to reduce it to 10,0001. The see of Durham was estimated to possdts an annual revenue of 17,8001., the proposed reduction was to 8,0001. That of Win chester was estimated at 10 : 7001.; it was proposed to be reduced to 7,0001. Worcester was estimated at 6,5001:; it was proposed to reduce it to 5,000/. St. Asaph and Bangor (one being 5,2001., and the other 3,8001.) were to haVe a revenue of 5,0001. each. The reductions thus effected would form a fund of about 28,500/. per annum, to which was to be added the saving in the transfer of the see of Bristol, 2,3001. a-yeqx-; thus making altogether a fund of 30,8001. per annum." This is that portion of the projected Church Reform which will be received with the least satisfaction by the people. Well may the Archbishop of CANTER BURY speak favourably of it—well call it a Reform, modelled strictly on Conservative principles—for it is " Conservative" of his episcopal revenue to the extent of 15,0031. per annum ; thereby leaving him in pos session of a greater income than is enjoyed by the three Ex-Chancellors, Lords ELDON, LYNDHURST, and BROUGHAM, put together ! A Church Reform of this nature may do very well for a season, but it can never be a final one. It will not silence the outcry against the exorbitant wealth of the higher: clergy—the utmost it . can be expected' to do, will be to modciate it. The Episcopal re venues must be still further reduced. The pockets of his Grace of CANTERBURY, in particular, as also of the Bishop of LONDON, must have a far As for more apostolic character imparted to them. , well-endow e d plea, that it is necessary for them to keep up an appearance of great state, we scout it as one worthy only of a rank Tory. It is not by his pocket, but his well-endowed mind, that the head of the Church should be conspicuous. He should be a " shining light unto men," not by the dazzle of his gold, but by the meek effulgence of his religious and moral worth. However, as an introduction to something more efficient, this Reform may pass. We may accept it as an instalment ; but assuredly not as the paymentslitary of the whole debt due to - the cou ntr y . T he very fact of the Conservatives—with the so le exce p t ion of Sir R O BERT INGLIS, who stands proudly out in discontent—being in its favour, should induce us to look on it, if not with dissatisfaction, at least with r wholesome distr \ ust ; especially when we find the Arch bishop bishop of CANTERBURY , no twithstandin g the very accom modating character of the Reform, expressly declaring that, in his opinion, a all the large cathedral establishments should be kept up, for many of the appointments attached to them were highly beneficial as rev ards to clergymen for their piety and good conduct." We hope Ministers will allow of no amendments founded on the principle here so e xplicitly laiddown ; for though it may be all very just and proper that pious parsons should be rewarded, still there is no earthly reason why the people should be unduly taxed for the support of such piety.
